Loveland, CO-based Pinion launched Pinion Global Network, a collaboration of food and agricultural advisory firms from around the world, on March 4.
“With their unique food and ag footprint in tax and accounting strategy, land, ranch, and farm consulting, financial management, risk advisory, and sustainability, these member firms aim to combat the global challenges of the food and agriculture industry and share resources and best practices,” Pinion said in a press release.
Along with Pinion in the U.S., the other Pinion Global Network member firms are Pinion Advisory in Australia and ACS 360 in South Africa.
Formerly known as KCoe Isom, Pinion has been a global leader in food and agriculture consulting and a top 100 U.S. accounting firm with roots dating back to 1932. Pinion delivers specialized advisory for food and agriculture operations in sustainability, policy and farm programs, land and water management, tax and financial planning, risk management, business strategy, and succession planning.
“The world gets smaller daily, and food and agriculture companies are pressured to explore new ways of doing business,” Jeff Wald, CEO of Pinion Global Network, said in a statement. “From input measurements to financial issues to sustainability requirements, client needs will only become more complex. By connecting with other like-minded organizations, we will build critical depth into international expertise, benchmarking, resources, and credibility that will allow us to truly provide world-class services and innovations.”
Pinion Advisory was founded in 2020 with the merger of Australian ag consulting companies specialized in agribusiness, water, and environmental solutions. The firm, which now operates alongside Pinion, is focused forward on sustainability for ag operations—financially, socially, and environmentally.
ACS 360, which is headquartered in Port Elizabeth and will rebrand advisory services under the Pinion brand, serves a diverse clientele across industries, such as agriculture, agro-processing, logistics, and automotive industries, and has remained a leader in advisory in South Africa for more than 20 years.
Pinion Global Network said it’s planning future expansion into Canada, the European Union, and South America.
